Editor: Politicians seek the wrong solution to our economic woes. The income tax has failed. It has driven business away from the US.

Business will no longer have to keep mounds of records and report them to the IRS. That alone will save more than...

I n all our community news coverage this year, we've overlooked an important landmark - a birthday. Waitsburg's venerable Commercial Club is more than a century old. Its current stationary lists its origin as 1912 and Waitsburg's "One Of A Kind" history indicates it dates back to 1911. According to the book compiled by Vance Orchard and published by the Waitsburg Historical Society, a special meeting of the Improvement Club on March 18, 1911, brought an end to that entity and launched the Waitsburg Commercial Club. At the time a small group...
